Indonesia’s Minister of Creative Economy, Teuku Riefky Harsya, has addressed growing concerns regarding the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the music industry. The Minister emphasized that AI should be viewed as a tool to assist artists and musicians, rather than a substitute for their creative work. His statement comes amid increasing use of AI technologies within the creative sector. Harsya underscored the importance of preserving the role of human artists and creators. He believes AI can augment artistic capabilities but should not diminish the value of human ingenuity and skill. The government aims to foster an environment where AI and artists can coexist and collaborate productively. This position seeks to balance technological advancement with the protection of Indonesia’s creative workforce.
